please help Expanding material wanted
« on: November 08, 2009, 06:12:38 AM »
Hi this is the first forum i have turned to. I am looking for something that can make the following effect. Say u have a room. Say 9 square m.. The effect i want is to put this material in there in small size, start the reaction and watch how this material expends over the whole place/room. And how it gets solid after a shortly after expansion. I am not a chemical expert so all i can think of is something similar to this yelow thing we used to use when installing new windows to furfill the small holes.

thanks for answers..

I am not sure I understand what you want to make. A big mess in your friend's house?  :o  :P

First, you can look for the so-called "elephant toothpaste" experiment

Is it what you are looking for?

There are several videos on Youtube that show how to prepare it.

Just be careful if you try that, as they use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the reaction and it is a strong oxidant.

Yes the second link is closer. I want to make a realy big mess, it should get hard(solid) after the reaction so that it stays there. I want it to be really hard to remove.

Hard to remove?!?  ??? You want to damage someone's place? It makes me think it isn't for a joke, but rather for a revenge. Am I right?

In this case, it's without me. Sorry, no advice for that.

hehe, well it isnt really a revenge, nobody will get hurt and most people would be kinda happy about it. Its just to silence down some really annoying  bell. If you don't wanna help i understand.

You want to fill a 9 m x 9 m room with something to silence a loud bell?  That is the strangest request I have ever heard.
